Meckel-Gruber syndrome: ultrasonographic diagnosis at 13 weeks' gestational age in an at-risk case.

abstract：:Type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with an incidence of about 1 in 3500 live births. Symptoms are highly variable from a few cafè-au-lait spots and axillary freckling to plexiform neurofibromas, optic gliomas, pseudarthrosis, and malignancy. Since disease causing mutations are dispersed t...
